Apparently, the function was a show of strength for MK Stalin as well as the united opposition in the south. Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu, who took on the task of uniting the opposition against the BJP, was also present at the occasion.

Other than Andhra Pradesh CM, Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and Puducherry’s chief minister V Narayanasamy of the Congress, attended the programme as well.

Notably, thalaivar Rajinikanth, is the newest entrant to politics in Tamil Nadu, was seen sitting in the audience with another actor-turned-politician, Shatrughan Sinha.

The ties between the Congress and the DMK had been stable since 2004. The DMK, had been part of the UPA alliance, but had broken off ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections – with the result that neither party had won even one of 40 seats from Tamil Nadu.

Though the parties had broken off, but they have been stable allies since. The Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had visited M Karunanidhi during his illness and had attended his funeral.

Reportedly, the DMK chief is expected to attend tomorrow’s oath ceremonies for Congress chief ministers in the Hindi heartland.
